6 things you should never tell to someone with depression and 7 tips that can help

By: carloscrc - 25 March 2016, 01:26

Compartir en Facebook

1. A lot of people are worse off than you

Photo: dailymail.co.uk

Chances are, the person suffering from depression knows that other people have problems and troubles in their life, but trivializing their feelings is not going to make them feel better.

Photo: Pixabay

So mentioning things like how other people are suffering from this or that and how really, your friend should feel better because they are not suffering in that way does not change the fact that they are really, truly suffering right now.

2. I’m getting tired of hearing about this.

Photo: Pixabay

If a friend or loved one is talking to you about their depression, it is very important for them to know that you are supporting them.

Photo: Pixabay

If they hear you say this, they may stop saying anything at all, even as their condition gets worse. The more you say that, the more they are going to tune you out too.

3. Snap Out of It

Photo: huffingtonpost.com

Depression is the result of a biochemical imbalance in the brain, not a lack of willpower.

Photo: Pixabay.com

Your friend definitely wishes they could just “snap out of it” but it is not that easy. It is a disease, and they can no more snap their way to better health than they could undo a cold, or cancer.

4. You are dragging me down

Photo: Pixabay.com

Sometimes, honestly, being friends with a person who is suffering from depression can feel like being friends with a person who is falling down a deep hole, while you are reaching out and trying to pull them back.

Photo: Pixabay.com

But if you think about it, the person is falling down that hole already. Shouldn’t you focus more on pulling them up again than the risk of falling yourself?

5. Why don’t you just go outside and get some sunshine. You’ll be fine.

Photo: Pixabay.com

While it is true that fresh air and sunshine can help boost endorphin levels and mood, saying this the wrong way is cruel and ignores the blunt reality of how pervasive a depressive condition really is.

Photo: Pixabay.com

Just going outside will not help a person feel better unless they have the support network behind them to change the depressive condition altogether.

6. Can We Just Stop the Pity Party?

Photo: popdust.com

Chances are, the person suffering from depression does not want a pity party. They are suffering from a medical condition, not an excess of self-pity.

Photo: healing.about.com

Treating them as if they are just out for some quick pity makes them feel as if their suffering is not wanted and should be taken far away. You do not want them to just stop the pity party—depression is the leading cause of suicide, and a major reason why those with depression commit suicide is they feel that their family and friends would be better off without them.

Those are all things that we should not say to people who are suffering from depression. But, if we want to help, what are some useful things that those suffering from depression could benefit from hearing?

1. Listen

Photo: Pixabay

If a person suffering from depression is willing to open up and talk, they are taking a huge psychological risk. They are probably scared of being belittled, or maybe they have heard those six things too many times.

Photo: altag.net

So listen up. Active listening means not just listening to say what is on your mind, but to really hear and respond to what the person is saying. When a person is suffering from depression, oftentimes, that is all they really want out of you.

2. Encourage them to seek help from a professional

Photo: nueva-acropolis.es

You may not know the right thing to say, but there are professionals who do. Those people may be the best qualified to help.

Photo: egastrotv.com

By suggesting that they seek outside help, you show that you understand how serious their suffering is. Very likely they cannot sleep, they have lost their appetite, or are feeling severely down for days and days, and just want it to stop. The best way to do so is to have a professional help them through their depression.

3. Remember that they may not know they need help

Photo: Pixabay

Some people with depression think that it is something they should be able to hide, or work their way through. Talking to you is a first step in getting more help.

Photo: Pixabay

By recommending professional help you can make a major difference in their lives.

4. Explain the benefits to outside help

Photo: stevenjdavisphd.com

As a trusted friend, you are in a unique position to explain the benefits of seeking help.

Photo: expertbeacon.com

It can be tough for people who are suffering from depression to understand any benefits to medication or therapy. Their disease prevents them from feeling any hope for change. By presenting those options, you can break through the mental fog.

5. Make it easy for the person to get help

Photo: shockmd.com

They are reaching out to you, and the best thing you can do is lend your full support.

Photo: mybuycheapenglishessayv.xyz

By simply giving them a phone number to a depression hotline or referring a quality psychiatrist, you can simplify the process. Very often people suffering from depression are too stymied by their disease to take action without extra prodding and this would be greatly appreciated.

6. Lead by Example with Exercise

Photo: bothsidesofthetable.com

Sunshine, exercise, and being in the outdoors have all been shown to help with depression symptoms.

Photo: oncallchaplain.com

As we said before, just saying it isn’t enough. It is better to offer to join them on the walk, or invite them on a trip to the park. The human interaction plus the outdoors is even better than walking solo.

7. Check In

Photo: wikihow.com

Many people will avoid a person suffering from depression because they feel that hanging out with that person is too much of a downer. Maybe they are afraid that by spending extra time they will be dragged down too, like a contagious disease.

Photo: iStock.com

That is why it is so important to hang out with and continue to engage friends who are suffering from depression. It lets them know, firmly, that despite what their brain is telling them about how worthless they are, you still care.

In this picture, Jonathan went to explore the breathtaking Peruvian countryside. If you are traveling abroad for a long period of time, this tip is extremely important! You should visit your doctor and ask him if you need any travel vaccines. You should also have a medical check-up to make sure you are healthy.

Think about all the things you’d like to do in your trip and organize your itinerary to take advantage of the time you’ve got, considering your budget and the places you want to visit. In Jonathan’s case, he chose Latin American countries, which are great budget travel destinations.

When you are traveling, you need to take all your belongings and the important things you need, so you should know the baggage restrictions required by the airline. There are some items that are prohibited on airplanes so you should also take that into consideration. Visiting Machu Picchu, the historic Inca city is a must for those who love traveling to historic places!

Whether you’re staying at a hotel or hostel you should book ahead of time. If you choose a hostel there are many chances that you might meet new people, but you need to be forthcoming, don’t be afraid to say “hi, where are you from?” to a complete stranger. Here’s another beautiful picture of Cartagena Colombia.

If you are traveling to a whole different country then you should read about the culture, or get a travel guide in order to know about the region’s beliefs and trends. These travel guides also have very useful maps with different locations and they show you the best possible ways to get there. Jonathan probably did his own research on the countries he was about to visit.

Find out which currency is used in your destination and the exchange rate. Having a credit card might be a good idea because they are safer to carry than cash, but you need to be aware that there is a fee for the exchange transaction. There are many beautiful islands in the Caribbean Sea where you can do scuba diving, just like Jonathan did.

Purchasing a factory unlocked phone might be a little more expensive but due to the fact that no changes are made to the hardware and software, these phones can be used with any cell phone provider. In Jonathan’s case, he needs a cellphone to upload all these Instagram pictures.

Before you travel you need to make sure your travel documents are in order. If you need a visa, make sure to apply early because depending on the country, the process can be complicated. Jonathan made the right choice visiting Colombia, which is a beautiful and diverse country with many attractions.

If you are going to travel by yourself, then you need to have an open mind and be willing to talk to strangers in order to make friends. If you are lucky, you can meet other people who are also traveling by themselves and you can go sightseeing together. Visiting Cuba is like traveling back in time; the colorful streets of cities like La Habana and Trinidad are definitely worth seeing.

If you are going on a long trip, this is a great way to remember every detail about your journey in order to share the story with your family and friends when you get back. In Jonathan’s case, he’s got all these pictures to help him remember all the places he’s been to.

How sexy

We've all seen the typical photograph in which girls are coming out of a pool or the sea and they flip their hair to get a great shot.

We have to admit the photo looks really cool, especially with that sunset in the background.

The squad

We all have our “squad”, a group of our closest friends and we can be as silly as we want with them. When girls meet up with their friends, they take hundreds of pictures until they get the perfect shot. In this photo, these guys look really funny acting like teenagers.

Well-deserved break

One of the most popular things among couples is taking pictures of their significant others while they are visiting a new place. In this picture, the couple decided to do just that, but instead of the guy taking the picture, it was actually her who took it. Isn’t it funny? We love it!
